We  cannot  show  in  this  catalogue  but  a  few  ol'  the  designs 
manufactured  by  us,  but  hope  by  these  to  interest  you  in  our

specialty. 

Iron  Fences  manufactured  by  us  are  unequaled. 

Our  mode  of  adjusting  up  and  down,  in  and  out,  and  from 
foundation  to  top,  is  the  result  of  many  years  of  experience, 
and  we  believe  it  is  perfect

PERSPECTIVE  VIEWS  OF  CEMETERY  LOT. 

SHOWING  VARIOUS  STYLES  OF  FENCES 


In  order  to  enable  our  Agents  to  furnish  Railing  for  Cemetery  Lot  Enclosure  at  small  cost  to 
the  purchaser  we  have  devised  a  plan  to  enclose  lot  without  using  large  posts  at  the  corners.— 
simply  connecting  panels  at  comers  with  malleable  iron  connections,  to  a  (  y%  of  an  inch  )  picket 
which  runs  into  an  iron  base.  This  makes  as  good  and  substantial  an  enclosure  as  if  large  posts 
were  used,  the  panels  at  comers  bracing  each  way.  Often  large  posts  cost  as  much  as  fence  for 
small  jobs  Only  our  PUNCH  FENCES  can  be  used  without  comer  posts.  We  make  no  extra 
charge  for  the  pickets  and  bases  used  in  the  comers  of  this  style  of  enclosure.

We  manufacture  the 

Baines  It*on  pence, 

And  claim  that  it  is  the  best  Farm  and  Railroad  Fence  m  the 
world  for  the  following  reasons,  viz :  Its  simplicity,  strength, 
durability,  convenience,  safety,  neatness  and  cheapness. 

SIMPLICITY. 

The  Barnes  Iron  Fence  by  an  ingenious  contrivance,  fully 
covered  by  Letters  Patent,  is  constructed  of  only  three 
pieces,  the  post  and  rail — which  lock  firmly  and  securely 
together  without  the  aid  of  wedges,  bolts,  nuts,  plugs,  or 
any  other  part — and  the  brace.  The  posts,  being  sharpened 
at  the  lower  ends,  are  driven  into  the  soil;  the  rails  are  flat, 
and  locked  into  the  posts — continuously;  the  braces  are  only 
used  where  the  fence  begins  and  ends,  and  at  the  corners, 
and  the  whole  stands  a  perfectly  rigid  and  united  structure, 
exceedingly  neat  and  attractive. 

STRENGTH. 

The  construction  of  this  fence  is  perfect  ;  the  rails  are 
provided  with  lugs  and  tongues  which  fit  into  ingeniously 
constructed  slots  in  the  posts,  and  bear  against  and  inject  into 
the  opposite  faces  of  the  posts  so  as  to  lock  the  rails  and  posts 
firmly  together,  thus  securing  a  very  rigid  and  strong  fence; 
being  locked  together  as  it  is  at  each  post,  it  makes  one 
united  structure  from  one  end  to  the  other,  each  post  and  rail 
rendering  its  full  support  to  the  others,  making  it  impossible 
for  the  fence  to  sag,  lean  or  be  blown  over;  it  will  withstand 
a  lateral  pressure  at  any  given  point  of  over  five  tons  in  any 
ordinary  soil;  no  team  of  horses  hitched  to  the  fence  can  pull 
it  over. 

DURABILITY. 

The  entire  fence  is  made  of  iron,  which  will  last  for  fifty 
years  or  more.  There  is  no  wood  to  rot  or  burn.  After  the 
fence  is  set  up  there  are  no  repairs  to  be  made,  no  broken  or 
decayed  posts  and  rails  to  be  replaced.  Frost  will  not  affect 
it;  the  elements  will  not  injure  it, 


30  Ti\e  Qjarqpiori  Irop  Co.,  Keptop,  Olqio. 


CONVENIENCE. 

It  is  portable  and  easily  handled;  it  can  be  moved  from 
place  to  place,  however  great  the  distance,  without  injury. 
It  can  be  set  and  reset  indefinitely,  and  is  as  good  and  perfect 
after  being  taken  apart  as  it  was  when  entirely  new.  It  can 
be  erected  very  much  more  rapidly  than  other  kinds  of 
fence,  as  their  are  no  post  holes  to  dig,  no  nails  to  be  driven, 
no  wire  to  be  stretched,  nor  any  mechanical  work  to  be  done, 
which  takes  time  and  means  expense.  The  rails  can  be 
detached  by  man,  but  it  would  be  utterly  impossible  for 
stock  to  remove  or  displace  them  in  any  way  after  the  fence 
has  been  erected. 

SAFETY. 

The  Barnes  Iron  Fence  affords  complete  safety  to  stock. 
They  cannot  hurt  themselves  on  or  against  it,  as  is  continually 
being  done  where  thin,  sharp,  ribbon  or  barb  wire  is  used. 
All  this  suffering  and  loss  of  money  can  be  prevented  by 
using  our  fence. 

Another  feature  is  that  our  fence  can  be  made  any  de¬ 
sired  height;  the  rails  can  be  made  light  or  heavy,  and  put 
as  close  as  any  one  may  wish  them,  so  that  it  is  adapted  to 
all  kinds  of  fencing,  and  the  enclosure  will  be  entirely  safe. 

NEATNESS. 

When  this  fence  is  properly  erected,  it  stands  in  a  per¬ 
fectly  straight  line;  there  is  no  leaning,  bulging  or  sagging; 
the  rails  enter  the  centre  of  the  posts,  so  that  both  sides  of 
the  fence  look  exactly  alike,  thus  presenting  a  most  attractive 
and  neat  appearance. 

CHEAPNESS. 

The  simplicity  of  construction  of  our  fence,  its  lasting 
qualities,  safety,  neatness,  and  a  comparison  of  our  prices, 
will  convince  any  intelligent  man  that  it  is  the  Cheapest 
and  Best  Practical  Fence  in  the  World,

INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR  SETTING  UP  THE  FENCE. 

Jr 

First  put  in  the  corner  post ;  be  sure  to  have  it  plumb ;  thenjplace  a'rail  in 
the  bottom  slot  of  this  post,  put  a  nail  opposite  the  rail  [inj  the£slot  [w’here'the 
other  rail  would  be  if  the  fence  were  continued  on,  to  hold  the  rail  securely  in 
its  place  :“then  drive^down  aline  post  until  the  rail,  placed  inlthe’bottomtslot 
of  the  corner  and|lineCpost,  is  parallel  with  the  ground,  thenjplace  .the'oth'er 
roilsjin  their  respective  slots  in  the  posts  in  the  same  manner~as]the  first  one  ; 
then  commence  the  second  panel  by  placing  the  end  of  another  rail  in  the  bob- 
tom  slot  of  the  first  line  post  alongside  of  the  rail  already  there,  this  is  done  by 
elevating  one  rail  into  the  upper  part  of  the  slot,  then  putting  the  other  rail  into 
the  lower  part  of|the‘slot*with  the  tongues  on  the  outside  of  jtheir  Jrespective 
rails  and  clearing  the  face  of  the  post,  then  push  the  elevated  rail  into  the  lower 
part  of  the  slot  alongside  the  other  rail  and  draw  the  rails  so  that  the  tongue  on 
each  will  fit  into  the  slot  provided  for  it  in  the  post,  thus  locking  the  rails  and 
post  firmly  together ;  then  drive  down  the  second  line  post  and  put  the  other 
end  of  the  rail  into  its  bottom  slot;  then  put  on  the  brace  by  first  fitting  one 
end  on  the  bottom  rail  next  to  the  line  post  of  the  first  panel  and  the  opposite 
end  to  the  corner  post  at  the  hole  therein  provided ;  then  put  in  the  other  rails 
of  the  second  panel  and  proceed  with  the  third  and  remaining  panels  in  like 
manner.  Be  careful  to  keep  all  the  posts  plumb  and  the  proper  distance  apart, 
and  to  reverse  each  alternate  line  post  so  that  the  slots  therein  will  be  in  proper 
position  to  allow  the  elevation  of  one  rail  so  as  to  admit  the  other,  and  keep 
each  panel  stretched  tight  as  it  is  put  up;  before  putting  in  the  next  corner 
post  be  sure  that  all  the  slack  has  been  taken  up,  then  put  it  in  and  fasten  the 
rails  and  attach  the  brace  as  before  directed. 

If  the  ground  is  very  hard,  it  may  be  well  to  dig  holes  for  the  corner  posts ; 
where  this  is  done,  see  that  the  earth  is  rammed  around  the  posts  very  tight  so 
that  they  will  stand  firm. 

When  driving  the  post  down,  use  a  block  of  wood  on  the  top  of  it,  to 
cushion  the  sledge  blow. 

By  stretching  a  cord  along  the  line  of  the  proposed  fence  and  putting  in 
the  corner  posts  directly  against  it  and  the  line  posts  one-quarter  of  an  inch 
from  it,  the  fence  when  erected  will  be  on  a  straight  line  from  one  end  to  the 

other. 

In  order  to  get  the  posts  the  proper  distance  from  each  other,  take  a  piece 
of  board  and  cut  two  grooves  in  it,  5  feet  6  inches  apart,  inside  measurement, 
each  %  inch  wide  and  1)4  inches  deep,  fit  one  of  these  grooves  on  the  post
